Take a breath. Think. Manipulate the blocks. Build your perfect own loop. Enjoy your victory, it's satisfying to look at. "Meaningless" (originally "An Oddly Satisfying Game") is a hypnotizing puzzle game for PC imagined during the Ludum Dare 49.

Inspired by Monument Valley art, it’s a minimalist 3D isometric game.

To make it simple: one level, one puzzle, one frame.


A level is divided into two parts.

The first one: move the blocks to let the ball reach the finishing line. When the ball is rolling, all interactions with blocks are recorded.

The second one: if the ball reach the finishing line, the entire recorded loop is replayed endlessly. Enjoy what you made and play with the recorded loop like a VHS.

The experience is inspired by the satisfying videos on YouTube or TikTok.

It’s the pleasure to watch a smooth and repetitive process without any flaws.

It seems easy, it’s hypnotizing and satisfying.



Enjoy your journey...

Super la montée en complexité avec des indices dans les titres :-)

Les petites touches fun avec les rebonds et les bumpers donnent envie de poursuivre pour découvrir, peut être, d'autres nouveautés amusantes et addictives :-)

Bientôt sur smartphone ?

Merci beaucoup pour ton post, ça fait super plaisir! Oui il est déjà disponible en beta sur Google Play

La sortie officielle sera en Juillet :)

Merci. Un client de plus ! ... je bêta teste :-

A quand la version pour Iphone ? ... pour Gil et sa famille car tous équipés iPhone, iPad, Mac :-)

Merci @alligator427. Pour la version iOS, cela dépendra des retours de la version Android. Si les retours sont positifs, nous pourrons investir dans du matériel Apple pour publier le jeu sur iOS d’ici la fin de l’été. Pour l’instant, on ne peut rien promettre.

Very enjoyable, loved the feel and the soundtrack. I could have played this for a long time. Hope to see it coming to ipad or similar!

Great to hear that you enjoyed the game 😃! We’re currently working on a tablet version of the game. Stay tuned for updates 😉 and thanks for your support!

nothing oddly about it, it was very satisfying.  Hey, send me an email to david.paige@atari.com and I'd like to talk to you about potentially porting this to a console.

Thanks for playing! :) Sure, we will reach you by email asap

Le jeu est vraiment satisfaisant, la DA minimaliste fait grave le taff.

Les jeux avec le moins d'interaction a faire son souvent vite addictif. Cette DA (pas chargé) et ce gameplay serait parfait pour du mobile/tablette

Mes petits retours serait de mettre quelque chose de plus visuel pour comprendre combien de coup il nous reste, plutôt que du texte. Pareil concernant la balle au 1er essai quand je découvrais le principe du jeu j'ai pas de suite capté qu'on pouvait cliquer dessus qu'une seule foi, peut etre faire une indication visuelle aussi.

Bon boulot bravo

 

Oups désolé du temps de réponse! Merci beaucoup pour ton commentaire, ça nous aide énormément et c’est sympa d’avoir pris le temps de tester :) On va améliorer ça et poster une update bientôt

OK, so I kind of see the oddly-satisfying nature of it. But: I got to a level that had about eleven different blocks that needed clicking, and was only allowed to make five clicks, so either the game is very weirdly broken, or there's something very fundamental to the rules that I didn't understand.

Hi Tahnan,

Thank you for playing. There is an important rule : when you move a block before throwing the ball, you lose a point. So, the number of moves is limited, BUT after you throw the ball, you can move blocks and win a point for each moved block. So, to win, you have to mix two kind of strategies.

This rule is not very clear for most players, that’s why we will improve this next version.
